[UPDATE 12:15 p.m.] Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Gathered at Miranda Bridge and Headed Up French Road

Law enforcement gathered near the Miranda Bridge before heading up French Road. They showed up about 9 a.m. They stood around until about 10 a.m. when a final vehicle showed up. It was unmarked.

One vehicle had the Humboldt County Sheriff’s insignia in it. According to a witness, everyone had street clothes on. They didn’t have vests. They had a K-9 unit.

They left about 10 a.m. headed up French Road.

UPDATE 11:17 a.m.: A witness who spoke with the officers tells us that they are there to evict people from a residence at the foot of French Road.

UPDATE 12:15 p.m.: Although there was at least one Humboldt County Sheriff’s Officer with the operation this morning, according to a witness, we have determined that this was an operation by the District Attorney’s Office. We reached District Attorney Maggie Fleming. She would only state, “It is an ongoing criminal investigation so I cannot comment on it.”

Of course they should, but that would be a bother and could inadvertently lead to a serious investigation. Silly. Always black humor when MEN insist on naming a “junior” as a power trip over their male child and it backfires horribly. Testosterone poisoning. Funny that women have no equivalent gender defect.

I’ve often wondered how they decide who’s day they’re going to ruin. A random click on Google Maps in Humboldt can give you over fifty possible targets. I would hope they’re targeting grows with environmental violations first.
